All tracks on the album have been put through Multimaximiser by waves.
Although in general the tracks sound punchy, loud and generally great, for some reason, at some points in some of the tracks, the song will lose all presense and top range frequencies for about two seconds then whoosh back to normal again.
This is not a pre-mastering problem, as such issues cant be heard before the mastering process.
Please help.

General advice:Commun alarm loud speakers don't have a volume control as it is meant to be loud (db by low think about 110,may be wrong...).Good practice:track the speaker,reorientation may help lower the noise,if not try to put a mask on it (textil...)Cheers.If u find out a volume adjust form (knob,pin)let the people know.Note:good electronist hobby may install adjust on wires if speaker aloud it.

You can use a free software audio editing and recording program called Audacity. Using this program load your stereo track(s) into Audacity, then look in the effects menu and select normalize. Make sure to set highest loudness level to 0 db, which is the maximum digital volume level. You can hear the difference in volume when you use the test button. If you can't still get enough over all volume level with the normalize feature then you will need to compress and limit the stereo track, but I don't suggest getting your over all loudness levels that high because it ruins and lowers the dynamics of your music. Another words when you compress and boost the over all loudness of your album then all your music is at the same highest audio level which is very ear fatiguing. It may sound better to you at first at louder volume levels but you will quickly learn to hate it over time because it does not sound natural. That is why most music today is all about loudness and ear fatigue. And because of the loudness wars going on today every Record company is trying to have the loudest album out there thinking it will sell more copies. It is all false baloney, it really should be about the quality and dynamics of your sound instead of how loud it is.

right click on the mp3 file...(c drive or sansa) properties/ general here is where you can also name the track.....summary is where you can fully name the track,year,track number,album,genre...your track name can look like this (name of trk - trk # - lp name - artist) or (artist - lp name - trk # - trk name)any way that suits you best....you can also break down in folder like for instance lets call this folder coldplay in this folder we have three lps (coldplay, coldplay live and coldplay again)

Hi there, Although I am not familiar with the Zoom HD 8 Track I am a former sound engineer so may be able to offer some general advice.
Firstly, because the wave pattern of low frequencies is very long, there are a number of things that will greatly effect bass response caused by standing waves. 1) The position of your bass monitors. Ideally these should be low down but not directly on the floor, especially if the flooring is wooden. 2) Try your monitors/speakers at a slightly different angle. Bass can bounce off walls, back towards the sound source and phase out the signal, rather like a noise cancelling system. 3) Try listening to the sound in different areas of the room. You will be amazed at how the sound pressure level will vary, simply by you moving from one position to another. 4) Never put bass tracks exactly at centre, always offset them slighly by a few degrees left or right. 5) Do some of your mixing using headphones, you will not have to worry about standing waves. But remember that things sound very different on speakers in free space.
Strangely, the reason you are getting distortion when you turn things up is probably because your bass is on the verge of over modulation to start with. Really bass is felt, not heard. You could try is to decrease your mid and high frequencies a little. The ratio between high frequencies and low ones will then increase by default and your bass may feel heavier.What are you mixing?
